I remember that providers and payers have to be careful about how they disclose PHI, but I'm not sure if it's about redesigning offices or just having proper protocols in place.

Whoa, a "top secret" security clearance? That can't be right. I'm a little confused by some of these answer choices, but I'll focus on the key requirements around minimum necessary disclosure and business associates.

Checkboxes could work, but that might get messy if the user needs to select both a phone number and an email as the preferred method. I'm leaning more towards the picklist.
